Excellent Tour: Informative and Interesting - This was, indeed, a small group tour: I was the only one on the tour, probably because I visited Phnom Penh during low tourist season. The guide was wonderful. She met me on time at my hotel and off we went with our driver to explore the presidential palace complex (really interesting and beautiful), the Killing Fields (really moving), the Genocide Museum (also profoundly moving), and the man-made hill in the city where, according to tradition, Phnom Penh was founded. Throughout it all, I learned so much about the history and culture of the city and the Cambodian people. I was responsible for paying for my entrance tickets (not a surprise as that information was included in the tour description). Be forewarned that you'll need cash (Cambodian or USD) because the sights do not accept credit cards. The tour lasted from about 9-2.

Excellent tour - Our guide, Nick, was very informative and knowledgeable about the places we visited. She spoke excellent English and answered our questions well, giving us a great insight into life in Phnom Penh and a better understanding of Cambodias recent history. The time allowed for each of the stops was just right, so we didn’t feel rushed, but also didn’t feel we wanted to move on quicker, it was all done at the pace that was right for us. Also she took great photos for us. Thank you Nick
